Washington Island to Sister Bay

Monday, August 17

Our ride to Sister Bay was fine, but we were very glad to arrive when we did. The rest of the day was rainy and windy. It was chilly on the boat, but as soon as we reached the town’s sidewalk and were out of the wind, it was warm and we had to take off our jackets! Everyone was wearing t-shirts and shorts, and we were in sweaters! How can you plan your day around that? 


The best part of the trip was visiting with John and Janet for a couple of days. John worked with us in Congressman Reuss’s office in the late 70’s and was the best man in our wedding. Now he is a political consultant in Chicago. For the first time in 11 weeks, we slept off the boat! We stayed at their lake house, ate well, toured the area, and had a wonderful time. On Thursday morning, before we departed, we ate at Al Johnson’s, a locally famous restaurant with goats grazing on the roof and great Swedish pancakes.
